What Causes Confusion And Fatigue While On Flagyl?
my husband is taking flagyl 250mg 2pills 3xs a day. Since being on it seems very confused and irritated along with fatigue. plus levoquin 750 once a day. He went to ER with chest pains and they said he had pneumonia kept him overnight for observation. All blood work good. WBC good, no gurgling or crackling in lungs or chest, no cough. no sputum, had a 100.2 fever friday night and that was it. O2 was 98 BP 124/76 Pulse 78. He had a chest xray in march and they said there was some focal something changes so that s why they diagnosed him with pneumonia. I am not convinced... Could it be to much antibiotics that is causing his confusion and insomnia?
Why he is on Flagyl? Why he is on Levofloxacin before going to hospital? If you're husband a known case of alcoholic then Flagyl act as Disulfiram like reaction. Which may lead to insomnia.
Levofloxacin may also cause tendinitis and joint pain. it may useful for pneumonia also. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
